Mixquic Dia de Muertos: Day of the Dead Tour

Experience the Mixquic Dia de Muertos cultural festival. Enjoy typical food and drink, explore the Mexican tradition of Dia de Muertos, and see thousands of candles and flowers set on colorful offerings in a traditional way.
The phrase “Because death is life, it lights up in another place” from the beloved movie Coco perfectly encapsulates what the famous Mexican celebration of Dia de Muertos, recognized as a Unesco World Heritage, means to Mexicans.

We will board a vehicle and set off for San Andrés Mixquic, one of the seven original villages in the Tláhuac Delegation, where our Mixquic Dia de Muertos tour commences.

Once there, we’ll visit the historic center of San Andrés Mixquic to admire the Day of the Dead decorations. As we stroll through its beautifully adorned and colorful streets, we’ll delve into the origins of this celebration. Did you know that during the Aztec era, the living already honored their loved ones in a very special way?

Throughout the Mixquic Dia de Muertos tour, we’ll pass by the San Andrés Apóstol Church and witness various Dia de Muertos altars. Each of these altars features skulls and photographs that commemorate deceased family members. You’ll learn about the process of preparing these small shrines, as each one has its own unique ritual.

For Mexican families, Dia de Muertos holds great significance. Parents, grandparents, siblings, and other relatives, whether near or distant, come together in cemeteries to remember those they once shared their lives with. We’ll also explain the customary practices that take place in cemeteries to honor the memory of the departed.

After gaining insights into the primary traditions of this special day on the Mixquic Dia de Muertos tour, get back to our vehicle and relax on the way back to Mexico City.
